RE: [pilot-db-list] Possible to make a database read-only?

[Rick H. <rh...@pa...>]

I did find a blurb about setting the file to read-only in the DB-Tools manual,
but what that actually does is make the file read-only in the sense you can't
delete it from the palm (well, you can if you have a tool such as fileman or
something similar).  On thinking about the database a bit more (two glossaries
in my case - you'll find them in the databases section of the pilot-db
sourceforge site), I've come to the conclusion that it would be OK for users
to be able to add/delete/update whatever records they like, so I guess this
probably isn't even an issue with me anymore :-)
What I *REALLY* want, as I stated in my original posting (second question), is
a way to put an 'about' dialog box for each individual database (such as who
to write/complain to, etc).  I've recently added two of these databases to a
couple of download sites, and although there is a way for people to contact me
through these sites, it would be great for them to be able to see an email or
web address somewhere within the DB.
